Dumb things other players do
Players who don’t ‘alt-F4’ worry so much for player who performed ‘alt-F4’ and bothering to label their act as tantamount to rage quit the game and subsequently wasting time to rejoin the queue.
The ‘alt-F4’ player probably don’t give a kitten and still ‘alt-F4’ away anytime opportunity presents. If the ‘alt-F4’ players don’t give a kitten then why those who don’t ‘alt-F4’ worry? Max crit on dumb here.
1. Enter Personal Story instance to help a level 30ish. (It’s a long mission.)
2. Reach final mob, but I get hit with 6 stacks of Poison so I go down.
3. Other play doesn’t res me, so I die. Other player dies.
4. I respawn at the checkpoint.
5. Other play is too close to the mob for me to res. I wonder why he still hasn’t respawned at the checkpoint. I ask him to respawn at the checkpoint.
6. A second later I get a message saying that the Party Leader has left the Instance and that I’ll be kicked.
7. I go back and ask what happened and he said that he left the instance.
8. I ask him why he didn’t just Respawn at the Checkpoint, since it gives him the option and I told him several times in the past that he should do that since there’s no penalty after you’ve already died.
9. He just ignores me and says that he wants to do it again.
It’s a broken game mechanic… in personal story instances as long as someone is alive other players can’t just respawn at checkpoint. Only once all player characters are dead does the option appear – and if the option is selected by one player before the other can notice it, you have to go manually rez them or become defeated so you can both choose to rez at checkpoint together. They really need to fix this, it’s quite pathetic actually.
As for me, the thing that annoys me most is when I do jump on a melee character and I’m bashing this enemy, then an Ele or someone runs up from no where and casts gust to knockback the enemy – because that’s exactly the kind of help a melee character is looking for >.<
